DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY

All articulated robots have multiple joints built with actuators – a combination of motors and gears, that control positioning and acceleration on various axes. The transmissions or drives are the most critical, differentiating and expensive component, yet still have performance limitations.

Critical part – High cost – Limited performance – all the makings for a breakthrough invention!

Robotic Drive Problem

A robot actuator must be strong, precise, and lightweight, resulting in a costly design.

Modern requirements

Strain wave and cycloidal designs are still using gear technology that has many limitations.

Today’s robots require high torque, high precision, low weight and a controlled rate of motion. Current gear-drive designs need to meet these requirements and rely on expensive, special alloys and high-precision manufacturing processes.

How we solve the problem

Motus M-DRIVE Technology

Motus has been shipping the M-DRIVE to early adopters since early 2019.
Multiple robot developers in North America, Europe, and Asia have been intrigued by the Motus innovative design, performance enhancements and potential reductions in weight and solution cost.

The Future with M-Drive

Just Imagine

We know the M-DRIVE can significantly impact the robotic industry due to the innovative design and all-around better efficiencies. Just imagine if the cost of building a robot could be cut up to 50%, yet it was stronger, more precise and lighter. Various industries would have the ability to use robots in more applications and bring them to market faster and cheaper.

Service

Service Robots assist human beings, typically by performing a job that is dirty, dull, distant, dangerous or repetitive, including household chores. They typically are autonomous and/or operated by a built-in control system, with manual override options. The Service Robot market will be worth $23.9B by 2022.

Exoskeleton

Exoskeleton Robots mimic, augment or enhance the body’s movements. The primary application is in medical rehabilitation and is also seen in military uses. Partial exoskeletons are used in construction. The Exoskeleton market will be a $3B market by 2022.

Defense

Defense Robots are deployed by the military in combat scenarios. These robots enhance a soldier’s or sailor’s existing capabilities while keeping them out of harm’s way. Defense Robots are a $18B market today, growing to $30B by 2021.

Construction

Construction Robots have many uses:

3D printing of large structures

Bricklaying

Dual-arm heavy equipment for disaster relief

Climbing robots for inspection and construction.

Demolition

Construction Robots will be a $320M market by 2021.

Humanoid

Humanoid Robots are in humanoid and non-humanoid forms. These robots are intended to interact with customers in finding items or completing a task. The Humanoid Robot market was $60M in 2017, growing to $90M by 2022.

Logistics

Logistical Robots are the fastest growing service robot segment. There are multiple applications including:

Container loading/unloading

Stationary piece picking

Custom packaging

This segment is a $4B market today, growing to $20B by 2021.

Inspection

Inspection Robots are equipped with cameras and are made to inspect tight spaces. They go everywhere you can’t (or won’t) go: into attics, under houses, inside ducts, down sewers and through culverts and pipes. The Inspection Robots market size is projected to reach $3.72B by 2021.

Industrial Cleaning

Industrial Cleaning Robots are professional service robots designed to perform cleaning tasks in an industrial setup. Tasks include floor cleaning (sweeping, vacuuming, scrubbing, and high-pressure washing), duct and pipe cleaning. The Industrial Cleaning Robot market is projected to grow to $302.42M by 2022
